i don’t know when to start or when to stop
my luck’s like a button
i can’t stop pushing it
my head feels light
but i’m still in the dark
seems like without tenderness
there’s something missing
tenderness
where is the
tenderness
where is it
i don’t know where i am but i know i don’t like it
i open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
words are so cheap but they can turn out expensive
words like conviction can turn into a sentence
i held your hands
rings but none on that finger
we danced and danced
but i was scared to go much further with it
just half a chance
make sure that one night you’re here but
next night you’re not
it always leaves me searching for a little
tenderness
where is the
tenderness
where is the
tenderness
whistling in the graveyard
calling up your girlfriend
just trying to make her understand
you’re squeezing the telephone like it was her hand
no question so many questions
she’s going to catch you out boy
it all seems so underhand
now she’s the only thing that ever made
you feel like a man man madman madman
tenderness
where is the
tenderness
tenderness
tenderness
where is it
i held your hands
rings but none on that finger
we danced and danced
but i was scared to go much further with it
just half a chance
make sure that one night you’re here but
next night you’re not
it always leaves me searching for a little
tenderness
where is the
tenderness
when you’re sick to death of second best pet
why should the morning always find you unimpressed
is your love like a button
you can’t stop pushing it
oh this all night longing can be such a long time
